diced against him in measure. He was
glad 10 learn differently; he was also sur.
prised that he had been aeked to address
them on Sunday, but then had reflected
thatt day was made for man and not man
forthe day. Further, that the nature Of their
employment preeluded them from using
other days. Hon. Charles A. Dana spoke
on tho relations OF capital and labor and
sgainrt the indiacriminato importation OF
foreign labor. The time had come whom
tho character of the Immigrant to this
country had attracted the attention Of the
government. with view TO restrictions.
Tho grand maater Of the order, F. P. Sar.

I: TaE Parkersburg Sentinel suggests that
the Republicans who voted for Camden
would bs well received in the Democratic
party. Probably. But We understand
their,votes to have been based on the idea
that their action was the best thing to do

OF the INTELLIaEScEB this was mistake
Of judgement, but giving those gentlemen
credit for sincerity, and not doubling their
RspublicaniBm, there is no reason to
think that they would feel at home in the

just before adjourning tho question Of
Knights Of Labor WAS considered. The
committee appointed last ycar on that
subject reported they we're unable vet to

cognizs that capitalists in some instances
opprees the poor man, aud they therefore
see tho necessity Of resisting such en-
croachments; but frat, they do not ap.
prove CT the means resorted to byKuiehts
Of Labor in battling againat that oppres.
sion.
Second, they condemn the boycott as a
weapon OF resistance and retaliation by

taking the places Of strikers, and who de.
ny their own members the privilege OF re-
turning to work at will. Fourth, thsy uu.
